The effect of A* pathfinding characteristics on the path length and performance in an octree representation of an indoor point cloud

This thesis presents a new workflow for path finding through an octree representation of an indoor point cloud. I applied the following steps: 1) the point cloud is processed so it fits best in an octree; 2) during the octree generation the interior empty nodes are identified and further processed; 3) for each interior empty node the distance to...

Semantic enrichment of a point cloud based on an octree for multi-storey pathfinding

Acquiring point clouds of indoor environments became increasingly accessible in recent years. However, the resulting 3D point cloud data is unstructured, and does not contain enough information to be useful for complex tasks like pathfinding. Indoor models which are currently derived from point clouds do not include furniture and stairs. The...
